Just noticed the Featured Posts on the SC, Forum Posts page. "Seller Meet-Up in Wales" Looks like 3 people in someone's living room. "Seller Meet-Up in the Chamberlain Room, Birmingham". A bit more ambitious with a couple of dozen chairs. But it does...
As a Buyer, where do I get to choose delivery provider? I will not use Evri under any circumstances.
